    Lets not forget the same Media who claimed Lacy was the 168 Mike Tyson gave RJJ most of his hype.The effect the national media has over its own country cant be ignored.

    Seriously, Lacy got massive hype beating up cans, RJJ got massive Hype beating up cans.Who is to say if Lacy had never fought Joe the nuthuggery wouldnt be even worse by the media since he would have probably k'oed 6 more cans.

    I agree with this a bit but at the same time you only have to watch these two fighters to see Jones was better. I do not think Pavlik will rebound to greatness at all because you can see he is not a great boxer but this logic is just as pathetic as the logic some American's use to discredit great fighters from around Europe.

    But Lacy did look like a beast before he fought Calzaghe.

    Hahahahahaha...

    Roy Jones barely lost a round for more than a decade, won world titles in 4 weight divisions, beat numerous top level fighters, a couple of ATG/HOFers, and completely dominated his opponents in a way not seen since Mike Tyson.

    This thread is pathetic...
